Explore McKinley, Pennsylvania, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for McKinley, Pennsylvania. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Pennsylvania or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to McKinley.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

McKinley rises from the dense, verdant expanse of the Allegheny National Forest, where the landscape is defined by the persistent, rhythmic cutting of the Wolf Run. It lies 19.5 miles northwest of Saint Marys, PA (from Saint Marys, PA: bearing 309°T), and is situated 4.7 miles south-southwest of Kane. Sunlight filters through the heavy canopy of hardwoods, casting long, fractured shadows across the damp earth and the moss-covered stones that line the creek bed. Five miles to the west, the land dips into the quiet, mist-filled reach of Bush Hollow, providing a natural catchment for the cool evening air that settles over the region. Those seeking the solitude of the woods often follow the Twin Lakes Trail, a narrow path that winds through the timber for two miles, offering a quiet vantage point over the rugged, inland terrain that stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains.
McKinley carries the quiet weight of a regional history rooted in the timber and resource extraction that once fueled the growth of the plateau. While the bustling industrial centers of the state remain far to the south, the local economy here maintains a steady, muted pulse, anchored by the management of the surrounding timberlands and the seasonal influx of visitors drawn to the wilderness. Ridgway Reservoir, positioned nine miles away, serves as a focal point for those navigating the quietude of this northern Pennsylvania geography. Life in McKinley moves with a deliberate, measured pace, reflecting the enduring character of a place where the architecture of the streets remains modest and the primary connection to the world is found in the seasonal turn of the leaf and the consistent flow of the local water.

Detailed location data for McKinley includes the ZIP code (19027, 16735, 19046), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Elk County (Ridgway), and school district assignment (Abington School District).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
